Waterman Will Not Inter
fere in GOslOw's Case.
HIS OPINION OF SUCH APPEALS
Ramirez and Lee Also Doomed to
Die ON the GallOws-Other
Cases Decided.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SACRAMENTO, November 1s.-Gover-
nor Waterman has refused to inter-
fere in the case of Goslow, sentenced
to be executed at San Jose shortly for
murder. In his letter to j. H. Camp
bell, Goslow's attorney, the Governor
says:
"In my judgment, when man COM
mits crime, is apprehended, indicted,
tried, convicted and sentenced, he
should be punished as the law directs,
particularly when his trial has been
presided over by an able, intelligent
and merciful Judge, and the verdict
rendered by men of good repute. II
the judges and court entertain any
doubt as to the guilt or innocence of a
criminal, they should express it at the
time, and not sentence the man to
death, and in two or three years
ask that such men be respited on the
ground of doubt as to their guilt,
thus throwing the whole responsibility
upon the shoulders of the Executive.
l am determined during my incum-
bency not to bear such reputation,
and these remarks are general in
their character and do not apply to
the case in which you are interested ;
but embrace this opportunity to
give expression to them. In my opin-
ion, juries who agree to a verdict Of
guilty, being well assured that the
penalty is death, and then sign a petit
ton to the Governor asking for COM
mutation of the sentence, or absolute
pardon, on the ground of doubt as to
guilt, is guilty of perjury (uninten-
tional though it may beg either in the
first or second instance, and may be in
both"
DOOMED TO DIE.
The Governor has refused tie inter-
fere in the death sentence of Jose
Ramirez, who will be executed at San
Jose on December I'd, for the murder
of Fernando Acert at New Almaden.
| Also, in the death sentence of Thurs
ton L. Lee, sentenced to be executed
in Kern, December 10th, for the MUIR
der Of Smith.

pressed determination of tearing up
the newly constructed tracks of the
Northern Pacific. For time trouble
was expected, whereupon advice was
given by the Northern Pacific's attcr-

CHAMBERLAIN INTERVIEWED
He Talks About the Purposes of
the COMInissiOn.


WASHINGTON, November 18.-Jos-
eph Chamberlain, British Fisheries
Commissioner, gave an audience this
evening to about twenty newspaper
men. Chamberlain was understood
to say at one point that the purpose
of the Commission was to make an
entirely new treaty, the existing
treaty having proved unsatisfactory,
but upon further inquiry, especially
as to whether an Interpretation of the
existing treaty might not be found
which would meet the views Of both
sides, he became non-commital be-
You'd the point of admitting that such
might be the possible outcome of the
conference. He thought it I'M
likely that the subject of a CONNER
cial union with Canada would come
before the Commission in any way.
There was scarcely a shadow of doubt
but that any arrangement agreed to
by the British Commissioners would
be held binding by their government.
